It would be fairly trivial to build. Basically, it is just a CoreXY 3d printer without the head.
I have modified a small CNC mill/router to be used as a "paste printer" for printing frosting/ceramic (https://youtu.be/XwjnVzfl0wA https://youtu.be/XwjnVzfl0wA). Many people in the 3d printing community have done similar things with their printers.
I would recommend something without a bed that moves in the XY direction. CoreXY designs would be great but there may be limitations on the carriage weight. In that case a gantry style cartesian printer would be suitable but with 2 Y motors to carry the X stage without skipping.
Edit: Also, See Openbuilds.com there are many machines that fit what you are looking for.
- munfred 8y agoLooking at openbuilds.com, in terms of functionality it definitely fits the bill, I'll look at the designs with care. I'd like to have a generic open source xyz gantry platform that I could just order on amazon for <$200 and tinker around with.
